CONCEPT

A playground for serious artists who like to be full on into their work. We included several project spaces, music stages and facilitate other possibilities to include people in your line of work. The idea is that working towards any type of public presentation or interaction with public can be helpful in order to finalize the work.‍The Treehouse supports showcasing in different ways. There is a communal white cube and different audio setups scattered in this little village. A projector and flashing theatre lights to be used. The program team runs out and inhouse events and might invite you to be part of an exhibition, festival or for a diner. There is this infamous Midnight Market to sell your designed item, vintaged vinyl, special food, or personal service.

To experiment finding a good mix of the whole the Treehouse needs to make choices and be able to select who is in and make time matter. So we ask you for a project plan. What would you like to create during your stay at the Treehouse? ¨

WHO IS TREEHOUSE

Marc Koolen

has a background in theatre. He initiated Theatre platform PickUp as a theatre working place in the former Caroussel theatre at the Kloveniersburgwal in the centre of Amsterdam, and also the current Treehouse with its shipping container studios. He has been and still at the core of all activities that make people feel welcome at PickUp at the NDSM-Loods and the Treehouse-village; to share their ideas, to create and present their work

‍Adriaan Kole

has background in research on human behaviour and worked as a (European) project leader for over fifteen years in sustainability and health. He has been active in administrative functions and also on the floor from the very beginning at PickUp, the NDSM-Loods, and Treehouse. He was chair of the association of entrepreneurs at NDSM (‘De Toekomst’) for four years and a board member of the foundation that manages the NDSM-Loods (‘Kinetisch Noord’). “I envision Treehouse NDSM as a place where creative people feel free to experiment with their work and feel motivated to share that work (in progress) with an audience – regardless the scope. It is my ambition that creatives see Treehouse as a great opportunity to create and present for some time, look back proudly on their stay in Treehouse afterward and want to stay connected.”

WHAT WE HAVEON OFFER...

Treehouse NDSM is set up to provide the best opportunities to create and expose. The individual studios are not huge, so they are affordable to (almost) any wallet. Sanitary facilities are centralized and shared. To make it possible to work bigger and/or to work together with more people, Treehouse features a larger working or project space (10mx10m). ‍•‍Central to the Treehouse concept is that every resident aims to presents its work or process (and themselves!) publically. We see a big advantage of doing so together with others, but that is entirely up to you. Treehouse aims to facilitate whatever form or way of presenting you can think of.

•‍Standard facilities are the exhibiton and performance hall (15mx15m), the four smaller showcases that are 24/7 accessible for public, and the main square. Alternatively, all of the Treehouse is available for presentations depending on your ideas (and safety rules of course). Treehouse also takes care of promoting you and your presentation.

• ‍Meeting up among residents or just hanging out is possible at the cantina and on the main terrace. Garbage disposal, maintenance, cleaning, technical assistance are all organized centrally. However, we aim to have as many work as possible be executed by residents to make working in the Treehouse as affordable as possible. All communal work will be accounted for. All these facilities are included in the rent. Not included are variable costs that depend on your personal consumption, e.g. electricity.

* These prices are maxima. We strive to lower the costs for you by building cheaper and doing more work low cost.

YOU COULD BETHE FIRST...

Although the new Treehouse still has to get started, over the past years we had the pleasure of hosting a great number of fantastic creative people at our temporary Treehouse. many creative people have resided in the current Treehouse.
